Prilox Cream 10gm

Prilox Cream is used for the following purposes:

• Providing local pain relief on the skin before minor surgical procedures.
• Numbing the skin prior to needle insertion, such as for venipuncture or IV catheter placement.
• Local anaesthesia before dermal filler injections.
• Alleviating discomfort during skin graft harvesting procedures.
• Applying on genital mucosa to numb the area before medical processes.

Apply Prilox Cream as follows:

• Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application.
• Apply a thick layer of the cream on the required area.
• Cover it with an occlusive dressing to enhance its effect.
• Allow it to sit for the appropriate duration before your medical procedure.
• Prior to your procedure, remove the dressing, wipe off the cream, and cleanse the skin thoroughly.
• If unsure of any step, consult your doctor for precise instructions.

Prilox Cream is applied topically.

Prilox Cream contains two active ingredients:

• Lidocaine / Lignocaine (2.5 %): This ingredient works by accumulating near pain receptors and nerve endings in the skin. It stabilises neuronal membranes and inhibits the ionic fluxes required to initiate and conduct nerve impulses. As a result, it blocks pain signal transmission which leads to local anaesthesia of the skin.
• Prilocaine (2.5 %): Prilocaine functions similarly to lidocaine. It accumulates near pain receptors and nerve endings in your skin, stabilising neuronal membranes and inhibiting ionic fluxes needed to initiate and conduct nerve impulses. This action results in blocking the transmission of pain signals.
• When applied under an occlusive dressing, these ingredients are released from the cream into the epidermal and dermal layers of your skin to provide local anesthesia. The onset, depth, and duration of numbing depends primarily on application time.

• Store Prilox Cream in a cool place, ideally at room temperature.
• Keep away from direct heat and sunlight.
• The cream should be kept in its original packaging to protect it from moisture.
• Make sure it is out of sight and reach of children.

• If you're using Prilox Cream for procedures involving needle insertion or minor surgeries, ensure you have a balanced diet rich in proteins and vitamins. This helps your skin recover faster after the procedure.
• For those using this cream for dermal filler injections or skin graft harvesting, maintaining good hydration levels by drinking plenty of water can be helpful. This aids in keeping your skin healthy and resilient, which could potentially improve the results of these procedures.
